Crown Drive System
Crown has applied the latest generation AC drive system, enhanced with Access 1 2 3 technology. The demand for high efficiency systems that closely match customer torque requirements is met with the generation control system. Crown-manufactured, independently controlled, AC drive motors are specifically designed to optimise system integration between the traction and braking controls. Crown’s Access 1 2 3 technology provides optimum performance and control by offering a communication interface for operators and technicians, intelligent coordination of lift truck system and simplified service with advanced diagnostics. The Crown display is used for easy troubleshooting, access service history and set performance features. A distribution panel is conveniently located with all test points, control fuses and central wiring for easy troubleshooting. Three modes of performance can be selected to accommodate operator experience or application requirements.
e-GEN™ Braking System
Variable regenerative motor braking is optimised and virtually eliminates brake maintenance. The appropriate amount of stopping force is applied to match operator brake input and the current operating conditions of the truck.
Steering
Load-sense hydrostatic steering is an on-demand system which reduces energy consumption. Smooth, quiet steering control with minimal operator effort required at the steer tiller. Steer tyres rotate 182° for maximum manoeuvrability. Crown’s hydrostatic steering system is simplified with significantly fewer parts, thus reducing maintenance requirements.
